Mr Albanese mentioned some amazing policies and strategies covering climate, foreign workers , women in business, indigenous and medical .
Climate
"Together, we can end the climate wars," he said, adding that Australia had the possibility to be "a renewable energy superpower".
Some commitments made in Prime Minister Albanese’s speech:-
- investment of $20 billion towards upgrading the electricity grid so it can handle more renewable energy.
- remove taxes on electric vehicles to make them between $2,000 and $12,000 cheaper
- install hundreds of community batteries across the country that will be charged by rooftop solar and provide shared energy storage for up to 100,000 households.
- install 85 solar banks to benefit more than 25,000 who can't access rooftop solar, such as renters and low-income households.
- public service sector would be required to reach net-zero emissions by 2030, although the Australian Defence Force, Australian Federal Police, Australian Border Force and security agencies would be exempt from this.
- $3 billion to invest in clean energy technologies like green metals (minerals used in green energy technologies), and seek to adjust the government's so-called "Safeguard Mechanism".The Safeguard Mechanism would make heavy emitters pay for their emissions, by gradually reducing, over time, the eligibility threshold from 100,000 tonnes to 25,000 tonnes
- phasing out coal and gas
- sign up to US President Joe Biden's Global Methane Pledge to phase out methane gas, which is the second biggest contributor to human-caused global warming, after carbon dioxide.

Women into work and Childcare
Get more women into work by making the childcare subsidy universal Mr Albanese claims the policy will make childcare cheaper for 96 per cent of families.
Medical
Solve busy hospital emergency departments and cut down wait times through implementation of Medicare Urgent Care Clinics —
a trial of 50 urgent care clinics across the country, offering an alternative to for families.
The clinics — will treat patients needing urgent medical attention, including broken bones, minor burns and stitches for cuts, to free up congested emergency departments.
They will be based at GP surgeries and community health centres nationwide and cost more than $135 million over four years.
A few Suggestions that come to mind
- Higher pay for essential workers - Education, daycare providers and nurses - increase the base rate - these people are key to our future
- Education - more public high schools
- GP remuneration - Medicare rebate improve -funded by Stopping universal bulk billing - people need to inderstand cost of going to gp - so they have an idea how much they paid for Medicare
- Get rid of Payroll Tax - and rather incentivise employers to employ more people
- Support Exporters and Innovators through EMDG and R&D Tax Concessions
